[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arnold Schwarzenegger is also super short.[/quote]

He's 6'2".  Maybe you saw a look a like shorty?

I used to date the short version of a well known celebrity.[/quote]

I went to college with a look-alike tiny Brad Pitt. [/quote]

Schwarzenegger is not 6'2".  I've run into him a couple of times, back when he lived (or visited) DC regularly.  I'm 5'8", and he was much closer to my height then that.  Most of these guys lie and are made to look taller on film.  He was huge, though.

I also flew from Bangalore to Frankfurt sitting next to Richard Gere--stood next to him a few times.  He's quite a bit smaller than the 5'11" on his bio, too.  He was quite nice, but pretty scruffy looking.  [/quote]

Schwarzenegger had a history of body building competitions where height/weight was well documented.  Maybe most celebrities can get away with fibbing a bit about their stats but I don't think that was possible for a guy like Arnold.  I do wonder if maybe you ran into a look a like.[/quote]

Hmmm.  Actually, I just looked up Maria Shriver's height and she is reportedly 5'5".  I am 5'5" and I happen to have a 6'2" son who towers over me.  Arnold does not tower over Maria even in the pictures of them when they were young.  Unless she was wearing stilettos in all of those photos, there does not appear to be a 9" difference in height.  Maybe half of that at most.

You seem to be right, pp.  My apologies.[/quote]
